Every day that major media fail to clearly declare that the president is out of his mind and is building a dictatorship is a day when they are betraying their duty to the American people.
If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.
Thinking about how a girl at Christian summer camp asked me if my dad was in Al Qaeda and I got in trouble for asking if her dad was a Klansman bc “her question was understandable”
Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.
Scrap The Cap On Social Security Today, Elon Musk, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $ 184,500. If we lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2400. @sanders.senate.gov bill does that. go.bsky.app/MDPU9Gy
I said what I said… WE ARE FARMERS Wake up America!!! Agricultural land used to Grow and Raise FOOD is more important to NATIONAL SECURITY than AI data center growth!!!!
A Trump Jr.-linked startup got a $620 million Pentagon loan commitment after his venture firm invested. ProPublica says a White House adviser requested the loan; all sides deny favoritism. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
I feel like society collectively forgets how crazy it is that the US military is lead by a former Fox News weekend host with no significant management experience who never held a high ranking military command!!!!!!!! A drunkard!
If Barack Obama had done this, every Sunday show would have talked about nothing else.
Democrats use mail voting more than Republicans. So when you hear Trump screaming about mail ballots, you don’t need to ask why. He’s not confused about who uses them.
A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.
Beyond parody -- Chris Wright blames Ukraine and Biden for record high diesel prices: "The single biggest factor has been the Ukrainian destruction of Russian refineries ... the Biden administration closed over a dozen refineries"
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
No, not irreversible. But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix. Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November. We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.
‘Musk’ doc claims his 4-month DC stint did more than ax 270,000 federal employees and untold billions in life-saving aid. Alex Gibney suggests Musk accessed and potentially collected intimate data on millions of Americans, possibly for later political use. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

He is the richest man on earth. An explosive new film from the Oscar-winning director suggests he also may be among the most dangerous.
